Could a Movie Be a Catalyst for Revival?

Ray Williams Updated on Recommended Resources

The Summit Church Pastor Bill Elliff recently attended the national pre-release of the upcoming movie Woodlawn. It is based on the powerful true story of how love and unity overcame hate and division in early 1970s Birmingham, Alabama.

A growing number of pastors believe God could use it in a powerful way in our community.

A significant number of students who have seen the movie in pre-screenings have turned to Christ.

It is possible when God’s people are crying out in unity that God in His sovereign grace would bring revival to his people and spiritual awakening in our land and community.
